Bajaj Allianz is one of the largest private insurance providers in India. Begun in 2001, today Bajaj Allianz has a pan-India presence with 759 branches nationwide. It offers a variety of insurance plans, and term insurance is one such offering.

Term insurance is essentially basic life insurance coverage, with death benefit going to the nominee and typically no benefit on survival. But with growing urbanization and morphing customer needs, term insurance has also changed radically to accommodate our requirements.

As a result, Bajaj Allianz offers two term plans with maturity benefits—either the return of premium or the full sum assured. They also have an offering which serves the unique need of paying back high-value loans if the wage-earner meets with early death. A basic insurance need is met by iSecure More which automatically increases coverage every policy anniversary. The main features of Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance 5 convenient term plans are given here…

2. Bajaj Allianz Life Secure:
